I would say it is wild. It was a lot of fun for us children to see the leaves closing!!
flowers of mimosa pudica in Florida http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6404130
In Brazil we call "Dormideira" ("sleeping plant"). I have a lot of them in my backyard. It produces a small purple flower.
Is it wild Emma? And do you know if it has flowers?
We use to call it " Touch Me Not"
We have it here too. In the wild! Does it have flowers?
that because of sesmonastic movement.
